Even though this is billed as a romantic comedy, it’s really more of one woman’s fantasy. Rachael Weisz plays an accomplished college professor who develops an obsession with the hot new teacher (Leo Woodall). Although there are issues with her family and others, the series steadfastly clings to this fixation, with continual flashes of imaginary sexual encounters. It felt like one of those cheesy beach reads and was completely predictable. Weisz’s flat delivery and continual comments directly to camera are obtrusive and uninteresting, while Woodall simply plays the doe-eyed hunk. The only reason I suffered thru the entire series is to find out how it ends. It wasn’t worth the trouble. (8 one-hour eps).
